We're on board the Crown right now doing a 15 day Hawaii and the food and service have been excellent.
As Jeromep mentioned food and presentation is very subjective but I havent heard one complaint onboard. DMW is a bit of a nightmare but the dining room waiters work really hard to get everyone seated at their preferred table size. We've been given the same table for 2 for the whole trip and have had no issues.
Dining room was not open for embarkation lunch, however International Cafe worked well.
Can't comment on the buffet as we avoid going upstairs. Dining Room has been busy at both Breakfast and Lunch. International Cafe is also very busy and the only problem has been trying to get seated in the Piazza to eat or drink.
After a not so spectacular post Covid dining/service experience on the Grand last year, after over 35 saiings with Princess we fully expected this to be our last trip with them, but to their credit they have really knocked it out of the park on this ship. We are well pleased !
Enjoy your trip to Alaska.
